A proof of Toponogov’s theorem in Alexandrov geometry

A proof of Toponogov’s theorem in Alexandrov geometry

This note aims to give an elementary proof for Toponogov’s theorem in Alexandrov geometry with lower curvature bound. The idea of the proof comes from the fact that, in Riemannian geometry, sectional curvature can be embodied in geodesic variations.
